Emperor Nanxing's expression was pale: "Go and apologize to the eldest princess." ”

"Yes," Dr. Liu bowed his head and got up, walked up to the eldest princess, and apologized: "Fang is the lower official, and the words collide with the eldest princess, and I ask the eldest princess to forgive me." ”

Jiang Fuguang bowed his head: "Doctor Liu, please be cautious." ”

If he was facing his father at this time, he would not dare to verbally collide.

Doctor Liu breathed a sigh of relief and cut to the chase: "Hangzhou is too shou on the excerpt, the relevant funds for the maintenance of the river, and various expenditures, a total of 300,000 taels of silver are needed, and the minister has consulted it, over the years, the expenditure on the maintenance of various dams in Hangzhou is more than one million taels, and the less is not less than 300,000 taels, but the eldest princess only approved 200,000 taels, why is this?" ”

Yu Shitai chose this matter to prove that the eldest princess has no ability to govern the country and should not interfere in politics in the court.

Jiang Fuguang said lightly: "Huigang east into the west of Zhejiang, through Xin'an to Jiande two counties, every year from April to July, the rainy period is concentrated, there are tides, lonely remember, the two dams in Xin'an County, is Nanxing three years of new repair, it cost a lot of financial, manpower, material resources, repaired for two or three years before it was completely completed, but also solid, only ten years ago. ”

Her voice was clear, like a big bead falling on a jade plate, high and low, subdued and frustrated, clearly echoing in the hall.

"In the twelfth year of Nanxing, Lone stood on today's main hall and asked His Majesty to repair the dam and weir canal to make the river flow to reduce the load of the main embankment, and His Majesty agreed."

Dr. Liu wanted to make a big fuss about the maintenance of the embankment and find out what was wrong with her.

She mentioned this incident to remind Dr. Liu and the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee that in the entire Southern Dynasties, no one attaches more importance to water conservancy matters than her.

In this way, Dr. Liu will not be able to hold no matter what conspiracy there is.

Emperor Nanxing bowed his head, and after Fuguang read the "Water Jing Note", he had a lot of insights on water control and dam repair, which led to the addition of dams in the twelfth year of Nanxing.

In recent years, Zhejiang's wind and rain have been smooth, and it will rain heavily for more than ten days in a row, and it will not flood the fields.

It is the merit in the present and the benefit in the future.

Doctor Liu's face was annoyed, and he took a deep breath: "River maintenance, what a big deal?" The eldest princess only approved 200,000 taels of river maintenance funds, is it too little? In previous years, there were not so few, what if the river was not thoroughly inspected and caused by flooding? ”

"Doctor Liu didn't understand what Lonely meant," Jiang Fuguang glanced at the hall and chuckled, "The Xin'an County Dam is a new dam, it took less than three years, and the Ministry of Industry has guaranteed that it is solid, how can it collapse easily?" How do you need 300,000 taels of maintenance money? ”

Cheng Engong's eyelids jumped heavily, holding Chao Wat's hand, and he couldn't help but tighten and tighten.

Doctor Liu was speechless for a while: "What if, what if, in case of the Dragon Boat Festival, the wind does not end, the torrential rain does not end, and it rains heavily for two months in a row?" ”

"This kind of thing is rare in previous dynasties," Jiang Fuguang sighed lightly, "If this kind of thing really happens, then it is not a trivial matter such as repairing the embankment, it is better to tear down and rebuild it now, and build a dam that can withstand two months of heavy rain, what does Doctor Liu think?" ”

Dr. Liu's face turned red and he lowered his head in disdain.

If this happens, what can we do by repairing the levees? It's better to spend the money on disaster relief.

Jiang Fuguang simply said clearly: "Gu participated in the design of the embankment in Xin'an County back then, and knew all the repairs well, Li Taishou is not as good as Gu to understand the dam, so Li Taishou's twists and turns, there are all untruths, Gu Nian is also cautious, so he doesn't care, but 200,000 taels of maintenance money, only a lot more." ”

This statement is naturally convincing.

Everyone knows that the eldest princess, who was only twelve years old in Xin'an County, participated in the entire repair and construction, and the courtiers were very unconvinced, but the eldest princess took the "Water Jing Note", and the drawings of the embankment, and debated with the Ministry of Industry for three full days.

The Ministry of Industry also supports:

"The dam is impregnable, it has been used for less than three years, and it only needs to be cleaned up regularly and the embankment strengthened, so naturally it will not collapse easily."

"If it takes less than three years and it collapses, it's not a problem of maintenance, it's a problem of the embankment."

"Two hundred thousand taels is enough."

“……”

Doctor Liu couldn't get over the face, and argued strongly: "In previous years, the maintenance of various embankments in Huigang has never been less than 300,000 taels of silver, and the eldest princess has not been involved in political affairs for a long time, so it should continue to follow the old practice, so that it is appropriate and more convincing." ”

He was right.

Jiang Fuguang didn't argue, chuckled, and only said: "I know that I don't need to spend a lot of money, but in order to follow the old practice, I spent more money in vain, because the money in the treasury was washed by a lot of water, and I regarded Your Majesty as a big wrongdoer?" ”

Dr. Liu secretly complained bitterly, and he didn't even dare to speak.

He didn't speak, but Jiang Fuguang had something to say: "In the past two years, there have been frequent wars in Lingnan, and the military department has often refused to increase the number of soldiers and postpone the increase in military salaries on the grounds that the treasury is not abundant and the household department is tight. ”

External worries and internal troubles are both important, Ye Shangshu's face in the military department couldn't hold back, but it was not easy to argue about anything.

On the other side of the household, whenever it comes to using money, he buries his head in his chest.

But in everything related to the army, the generals have the right to speak, and Qi Rinfeng and the generals hurriedly echoed it.

"What the eldest princess said is very true."

"The eldest princess reduced expenses for the treasury, which is a move for the benefit of the country and the people, why did it come to the mouth of Dr. Liu, but it became the eldest princess's inappropriateness?"

"Doctor Liu, as the Imperial Historian and the chief of the Imperial Historical Observatory, he must pay attention to the factual basis when he speaks."

“……”

Doctor Liu, and the courtiers who supported Doctor Liu, suddenly became quails, there is money to spend unjustly, there is no money to raise troops, who dares to be iron in this matter?

If something goes wrong in the war, which of them can afford it?

Emperor Nanxing swept away the ministers in the court: "Zhongqing, do you still have objections to this matter?" ”

After a while, no one spoke.

Emperor Nanxing said: "In this case, regarding the excerpt of Li Taishou of Hangzhou County, the eldest princess has not exhausted, untrue, and inappropriate things in his approval, can the secretaries agree?" ”

Qi Rinfeng was the first to speak: "Your Majesty is wise. ”

Only then did the courtiers chimed in.

Emperor Nanxing said: "Then, this matter will end here." ”

Doctor Liu is also depressed, the eldest princess has reviewed the twists and turns, they have all seen them one by one, and they can also find out many faults, but recently, the government and the opposition are busy patrolling the fields, and all places are also preparing to enter Beijing to congratulate, and there is no major event, besides, the real major matters are also handled by His Majesty, and it is not the turn of the eldest princess to approve it.

Only the excerpt of Li Taishou of Hangzhou County allowed them to catch the obvious inappropriateness.

The maintenance of the river embankment is also very important, enough for them to make trouble, but as soon as they came up, they were dialed by the eldest princess.
